## Description

desertcart.com: Live Aquarium Hornwort Coontail Plants - Excellent Oxygenator - Easy to Maintain Plant - Removing Excess Nitrates - Promote High Water Quality - Bunch : Pet Supplies

Review: Save this seller!! - Save this seller! I just received this hornwort and a few other varieties I ordered. The plants were a bit stressed, as expected coming in the mail, but still live and healthy. Within a few hours of putting them in water and they started coming around. The one suggestion I have is it would help for the seller to include a sheet with care instructions, tips, etc. depending on the species. However, figuring out how to care for each particular plant isn't terribly difficult. Overall, very, VERY satisfied with this order and this seller in terms of price, value, and quality and will definitely add to my favorites for future needs!
Review: Thought it would grow, it mostly didn't - Hornwort update: I trimmed the very tops of the stems and floated them for a week or two and now I have maybe 3 or 4 living stems that are still tiny but growing. The whole rest of the plant is dead, shed all the needles into the tank and is melting and making a mess. Other plants seem to be doing okay so far. ------- Right up top, I think 4 stars for live plants on desertcart is a good expectation. I purchased 3 different plants in one order from this seller, so I'm going to copy the same review to each item. I'll try to update as things grow in. I ordered Hornwort, Java Moss, and Crypt Parva for a new mini shrimp jar. I placed my order on a Saturday evening and I did choose to pay for faster shipping to ensure they had the best chance. To my surprise, the order was filled and shipped Sunday morning. I just received them Wednesday morning and planted everything. It was in a box with a bubblewrap bag with the plants inside. Everything was intact. I received a tissue culture of something for free with my order, not sure what it is yet. Looks green and healthy, we'll see - I sometimes have bad luck with tissues. The hornwort I'm giving 4 stars. It feels strong, but bristly and it's browner than I would hope. Kind of a messy bundle, but it's okay for me because I chopped it into pretty short stems anyways. I expect the color to improve over time, maybe with some trimming and replanting. The java moss also gets 4 stars. It's java moss. Maybe the clump of moss seemed a little small... but again this was a situation where I really didn't need very much, so it worked out. It looks and feels healthy, and it will grow. The crypt parva gets 5 stars. Looked just as good, if not better, than a plant in a bag would look if I drove to my LFS and bought one. Big and healthy and easy to split into smaller pieces. I was worried the crown might be mushy but it's awesome. Overall, my experience is better than I expected. I'll try to update in a few weeks once things settle in, but based on how they look and feel, it would likely be my fault if they died.

## Features

- You will get 1 bundle, each bundle contains 3 stems. The plants will be similar to the one that you see on the picture of the listing. I will also include a mystery plant of my choosing.
- Live Arrival and Satisfaction Guaranteed

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this be used in a pond?**
A: Hornwort submerged pond plant is an excellent oxygenating plant for fish ponds. The hornwort plant forms a dense mat and does not develop roots. Like other submerged pond plants, it receives nutrients from the water and helps keep water clear.

**Q: What kind of plant food does hornworts need?**
A: No plant food required if you have fish or other aquatic creatures living in the water. The biological filter will provide nitrogen.

**Q: Will this kill off other aquarium plants as it consumes a lot of nutrients?**
A: Difficult to say since I have no idea of the size of your aquarium or number of fish or number of other plants but it seems unlikely that this plant would kill off other plants.

**Q: Got many white stuffs on leaves—are those gel for shipping purpose? Or what those are and would it melt/disappear over time?**
A: It is calcium carbonate it comes off over time or if you gently rub the leaf it also comes off. Personally I leave it on as it benefits the plant
